(Captain Seleene Star-Caster, furious and armed with an Æther handgun, enters the scene, pointing the weapon at Earl Preen)

Captain Seleene Star-Caster: You, Preen, have condemned Narciss to mediocrity and submission. The dreams of dominance shattered, and I swear by the skies, I will avenge Earl Bigot's vision with the flames of retribution!
Captain Seleene Star-Caster: It's not too late, Preen. I'll kill you, assume my rightful place as Countess, and unleash the Ætheric Storm upon the ÆDF fleet. Narciss will still taste victory.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvB6q0qROc
Protagonist: You’re insane! Dooming hundreds of thousands to die in conflict and countless more to æther sickness in the future. What kind of victory is that?
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDQGnqo9SB
Captain Seleene Star-Caster: Victory is never without sacrifice. Sacrifice for Narcissian glory, for dominance. This realm deserves to be reshaped under the rule of Narciss.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz13BfPraHl
Aeroadmiral Noble: You have no right to the title of Countess, and in the absence of an heir or chosen successor, the High-Exarchs would determine the interim ruler until a proper replacement is chosen.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PkofbUPrE
Captain Seleene Star-Caster: Don't think the ÆDF can save you. The Adapetus Æther is missing or dead. Your allies will be obliterated soon, and no one is coming to help you.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTMbGfSUVT
Captain Seleene Star-Caster: And you, Admiral, meddling in Narcissian affairs? Your reckoning comes sooner than you think.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaO6c39SE1
Captain Seleene Star-Caster: A false Earl, a usurper. The only fitting end is a bullet.

(The lights black out, there is a sound effect of gun fire accompanied by a scream)
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqSlsaIe3N
(The lights turn back on, Captain Star-Caster falls to the ground, her back is covered in blood)
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYtvKsvmfo
(The Adapetus Æther, a withered figure, frail and ghastly, steps forward, revealing the effects of the Æther sickness. He is holding an Æther handgun. Beside him, High-Exarch Onyx holds a gun pointed at Exarchs Worce and Lux, who are now captives)
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0k9F6XxVjF
Adapetus Æther: Good riddance to the chaos. Perhaps now we can restore order.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKmPTBEJ3n
High-Exarch Onyx: Earl Preen, Exarch Cha met his end at the hands of his own underlings. Chalcrystis is now ruled by Stratocrat Gaml.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqwSXXFdOp
(Exarch Worce, a frail and elderly man in dignified robes of office, begins to protest)
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVvgGiRaiH
High-Exarch Worce: (reedy voice) I have done nothing wrong! Release me at once!
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ns1DyvCMi
High-Exarch Onyx: You are too old, Exarch Worce. Your time has come to retire quietly. Your successor will lead Worcestershire into a new era of fast and efficient administration.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJc5j45mWH
(High-Exarch Lux is a small middle-aged man with a rather nasty little moustache)
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J5xe9pawS
High-Exarch Lux: (Shouting) Onyx, you useless fool! Release me at once!
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZCy2jOxh9
High-Exarch Onyx (Holding the gun steady) You are being held accountable for your unethical experimentation. Prison awaits you, Lux.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoVq9tpPwP
(The two men from earlier appear)
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXXCxDIwT3
High-Exarch Onyx: Escort former exarch Worce to his country home, and throw Lux into the brig for the time being.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4juOQTXbpq
(Worce and Lux are taken away by the men, who do not return)
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuP0Q5WrN9
Adapetus Æther: (Gasps for breath, coughing intermittently) Within the confines of the laboratory, chaos unfolded. The Adapetus Biomechanical, driven by madness, sought to unleash those accursed creatures upon the world. In a desperate act, I wielded an Ætheric Energy Lance, ending her deranged ambitions. (Struggling for breath) However, the toll it took on me was severe, and the Ætheric sickness now courses through my weakened veins, (coughs) a consequence of thwarting the impending catastrophe.
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevn5ZtTfnR
Adapetus Æther: (Collapses to the ground) Ah, the irony of fate... (coughs weakly) The Ætheric sickness, a relentless executioner of its own architects. My past... filled with the whims of my mentor, the Adapetus Mechanical. (Laughs maniacally) How amusing that I now face the same fate, (gasps for breath) trapped in the cruel jest of destiny. (Laughs again, increasingly erratic) The laughter of cosmic irony echoes through the ages... (Gasps for one final breath and falls silent)
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6foniOddL
Protagonist: No... not again...
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKktEG5favg
Earl Preen: (Smirking) Well, it seems the Adapeti have a knack for leaving this world with a touch of dark humour.
